Under the proposed broadband Universal Service Obligation, it will be for industry rather than the consumer to cover the cost of connection up a reasonable cost threshold of £3,400. We also proposed that for premises where the cost of the connection exceeds this threshold, consumers would have the option of paying the excess costs in order to get connected.<\/p>
<\/strong><\/p> We set out the full details of our proposals in our consultation on the design of the Universal Service Obligation (USO) https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/broadband-universal-service-obligation-consultation-on-design.<\/p> <\/strong><\/p> We will shortly be publishing our full response to the consultation and setting the overall design for the USO in secondary legislation.<\/p> <\/p>"}
